Not new to MFP - but new to tracking again :)

Hello friends!
I have used myfitnesspal for awhile and I realized I don't really have any friends for support. I am 4'11", and I am at 165 lbs - my highest being 200.2 pounds ! Right now I am in a weight loss competition so I need to track and get serious about my eating! I've lost my 35 pounds through herbalife, working out 3x a week (I took two months of tho...eek... and I'm just back on it!). Looking for buddies to join me on this journey I have never stuck this long with a weight loss program and would really like some support from people I don't know haha

I'll be your friend! I've been on MFP for awhile as well but never tried this support thing I'm looking to get serious about losing weight this time and hoping to find some friends to help me out.
